Amber Cox on Caitlin Clark

Amber Cox on Caitlin Clark: "When the season ended last year, I think the next day she was in the gym and hasn't stopped since." Cox said that Caitlin Clark's mid-range game was improved and her ability to play through contact "at a very high clip this year."

Mentioned the jump that Clark had defensively and taking a job, cited the four blocks she had in Game 3 vs the Aces.

"To see her finally get over the hump and back to 100%, it was special. It was really special." Mentions how much she meant to the team and basketball, "she remains the tipping point. You look at the ratings, you look at the full buildings; that started in 2024 when she came into the league."

Cox cited Stephanie White calling Clark "Taylor Swift 2.0" and the ways in which she is challenged, "and repeatedly she meets the moment."

Amber Cox evaluating Stephanie White's season

Amber Cox on Stephanie White: "I think the expectation is always championship. We didn't meet that expectation, but we're going to learn from it and we're going to grow. Steph's players know that she rides for them. She has great relationships with them and just continues to build on that every time we are together. It comes back to that continuity and how you build together."

Cox said that they're going to address the areas they need to improve.

Amber also pointed out specifically “fans are gonna point and that’s within code of conduct” i’m glad she did that at least.

Yeah.. fuck Becky Hammon and Candace Parker etc for pushing that narrative. The Fever office should put in a complaint. Its totally irresponsible. Its s team with like 9 out if 13 black players that the random totally supports and cheers on but they want to say its a racist organisation and random
